The US has told Group of Seven allies it won’t endorse a statement condemning Russia’s deadliest attack on Ukraine this year because it wants to keep negotiations with Moscow on track.

Russia fired two short-range ballistic missiles, including one equipped with cluster munitions, at Ukraine’s northeastern city of Sumy on Palm Sunday morning as Ukrainians attended church services. At least 35 people were killed and 119 injured in the attack, including children, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said.
